    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    There's a degree of cost savings, but many places are now hitting a wall of cost accelerating because of sloppy architecture trying to "scale". But I know places right now that have things they would love to bring back into their own data centers, but can't because it's getting harder and...

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    I'm sorry sir, you have my condolences on the loss... I think I'm in the early stages of this with my mom. She's been diagnosed with mid tier kidney disease for a while, and lately her BP has gotten out of control and they added "class B" cardiovascular disease onto it. Her Kidney Dr took...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Another problem I see with as much as everybody is clamoring over the CLARITY act and other Crypto legislation is that the promise of Crypto and DeFi was to give a financial system not in the complete capture and control of the "Big Bank World". And who is sitting at the table with as much or...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    He's a guy who does these "putting himself in someone's shoes" posts as a form of "reporting". Usually it's about corporate America nonsense, and this one was his take on the recent interviews with Metzen and such. I just find his stuff pretty "reasonable chuckle" worthy while being honest...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    OK, I didn't watch past the fumble recovery TD. Who was named MVP, it had better be Seattle's kicker since they can't give it to the whole defensive unit. . heh

    Health Problems

    I'm trying to maintain more activity than her. I'm no 5k runner, but making sure to get the "steps in". I'm trying to eat fewer carbs, watch my A1C more than she did. Some of this will be easier as she had some work related injuries and such in her 30s and 40s which resulted in her having...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    So. I mentioned a while back about a crack on one of my rims causing a slow leak over time. Took it to get repaired at a rim repair place and when looking at where the rim had the leak it was a spot where apparently at some point in the past the same wheel had been repaired. So now I don't...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Yeah.. it's for "Elderly care'.... I'd be interested in seeing in seeing their definition of "companionship". heh We all know where this is going.

    Health Problems

    I'm dealing with a "cards dealt" scenario as well right now. My mother is in the hospital because of idiot doctors. In her mid 70's she's suffering from weakened kidneys (I think technically stage 2 kidney disease) and now type B congestive heart failure. Her kidney Dr decided that since her...
